The next stage of the tourism economy: from platform dominance to user co-construction

In the past decade, the tourism industry has experienced rapid development of platformization. Large OTA platforms have occupied a dominant market position through scale advantages and data accumulation. However, this model has also brought about problems of centralization and uneven value distribution.What Coinsidings explores is another possibility.In its ecosystem, users are not only recipients of services, but also co-builders of value systems. By accumulating computing power through behavior, participating in the ecosystem through computing power, and sharing profits through the ecosystem, this cycle constructs a new growth logic.The core of this logic lies in "user-led". The platform no longer pursues complete control over value, but instead allows value to flow among users through rule design. The role of the platform has shifted from "center" to "infrastructure".This change echoes the broader trend of the digital economy. In multiple fields, users are transitioning from passive participants to active contributors and revenue sharers.For the tourism industry, this transformation is particularly important. Because tourism itself is a highly dependent industry on user behavior and experience. Whoever can more effectively motivate and connect with users may have an advantage in the next stage.The significance of Coinsidings may not only lie in its specific model, but also in the direction it points to - a new form of tourism economy co-built by users and shared in value.
